Uptake of Microplastics and Their Effects on Plants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the published research on potential single effects and on combined effects of MPs with other pollutants such as organic and nano-sized pollutant MPs in aquatic plants including microalgae and macrophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adsorption of arsenic on micro- and nano-plastics intensifies the toxic effect on submerged macrophytes.
TL;DR: In this paper , the adsorption behaviors of arsenic (As(III) and As(V)) on three types of MPs (polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyethylene) with four different particle sizes (100, 10, 1, and 0.1 μm).

Xiao Baohua,Dongdong Li,Liao Baolin,Zheng Huina,Yang Xiaodong,Xie Yongqi,Xie Ziqiang,Chengyong Li +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physiological responses of the coral Acropora sp. were determined after exposure to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide 66 (PA66), and polyethylenes (PE) microplastic for 96 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastic-induced apoptosis and metabolism responses in marine Dinoflagellate, Karenia mikimotoi
TL;DR: In this article , programmed cell apoptosis in marine dinoflagellate, Karenia mikimotoi exposed to 10 mg L-1 micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs; polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate) for 72 hours was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of microplastics on lentil (Lens culinaris) seed germination and seedling growth.
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of polyethylene microplastics (740-4990 nm PEMPs) on seed germination and seedling growth using Biospeckle Optical Coherence Tomography (bOCT) was investigated.

Studies of marine planktonic diatoms: i. cyclotella nana hustedt, and detonula confervacea (cleve) gran.
TL;DR: Bacteria-free clones of the small centric diatom Cyclotella nana Hustedt were isolated, three from estuarine localities, one from Continental Shelf waters, and one from the Sargasso Sea as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments.
TL;DR: Global plastics production and the accumulation of plastic waste are documented, showing that trends in mega- and macro-plastic accumulation rates are no longer uniformly increasing and that the average size of plastic particles in the environment seems to be decreasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pollution of the marine environment by plastic debris: a review.
TL;DR: The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic, and a variety of approaches are urgently required to mitigate the problem.

Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks
Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Mark Anthony Browne,Phillip Crump,S. J. Niven,Emma L. Teuten,Andrew Tonkin,Tamara S. Galloway,Richard C. Thompson +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that microplastic contaminates the shorelines at 18 sites worldwide representing six continents from the poles to the equator, with more material in densely populated areas, but no clear relationship between the abundance of miocroplastics and the mean size-distribution of natural particulates.
